Page 21
Safety precautions and warnings 3.2.3 DANGER • Overloading could result in damage to the crane or in the worst case, personal injury or death • Never increase a hanging load, since that may cause a load holding valve to open and/or the vehicle to turn over.
Page 22
Safety precautions and warnings 3.2.3 Load diagram The load diagrams are placed on the column and show the maximum loads your crane may lift in the entire working zone (manual extensions ex- cluded). The load diagram drawing will also be found in the enclosed Technical Data.
Safety precautions and warnings 3.2.4 3.2.4 Maximum load moment If your crane has reached the maximum load moment (lifting capacity), the OLP gives a warning and locks any crane movement that will increase the load moment. This is known as an OLP situation.
Page 24
Safety precautions and warnings 3.2.4 Lifting the load You obtain the best from your crane in this way: Ensure that you always have the work in clear view. If you cannot see the load properly, you could cause a fatal accident or serious damage. Sling length Always attach the load using the shortest possible sling.
Safety precautions and warnings 3.2.6 Make smooth crane movements: operate the crane with various functions simultaneously. In this way you will also prevent the hydraulic system heating up quickly. DANGER Never exceed the maximum permissible load- ing of the hook. 3.2.6 Determination - Hoist The TC hoists belong to the group of hoisting winches.

Safety precautions and warnings 3.5.1 DANGER Do not stand in front of the boom system when operating the crane out of parking position. 3.5.1 Preparations for use DANGER Ensure that there are no unauthorised persons within the operating range of your crane! Mark out the working range, e.g.
Page 32
Safety precautions and warnings 3.5.1 DANGER • If a part of the crane comes in contact with an electricity line, you will be electro- cuted! • Maintain the following minimum distances between the crane and overhead electricity lines, unless otherwise prescribed by na- tional rules.
Page 33
Safety precautions and warnings 3.5.1 DANGER • Keep checking that there are no unauthor- ised persons within the operating reach of the crane! • Make certain that you can always see the load! If your view of the load is not adequate, have someone else give you signals.
Page 34
Safety precautions and warnings 3.5.1 WARNING • Never push a load along the ground, or the vehicle's load space, with the extension boom. This can cause damage to the boom system. This will lead to expensive repairs. • Never use the extension boom as a jack. This could damage the slewing bearings and the connection between the crane column and the crane base.
Safety precautions and warnings 3.5.4 Driving with the crane DANGER • Never drive the vehicle if there is a load suspended from the crane. • Before you move the vehicle: Check that there is no pump flow to the crane control valve. The PTO or power supply must be disengaged.
Safety precautions and warnings Use of the Hoist The hoist is a crane accessory which permits load handling without any or only limited boom movement. Lifting and lowering is achieved by wind- ing/unwinding the drum rope. During hoist operation, the rope must not be pulled off the hoist drum completely.
Page 37
Safety precautions and warnings WARNING Make sure that ropes do not touch or slide over corners, cutting edges or other obsta- cles, for example sharp edges on surfaces close to the wire rope. The swing is mainly caused by the wind and can occur with or without load.
Safety precautions and warnings Use of lifting equipment DANGER • Only use lifting accessories that are suit- able for your crane. Contact a HIAB service workshop. • Never attempt to install add-on lifting accessories yourself! • Add-on lifting accessories may only be installed by an authorised HIAB service workshop.
